I'm attempting to create an Iframe that displays the creation date of a certain module using ASP.  If it were a Report, all I would need do is execute the following query:

SELECT CreatedDate  FROM  HtmlText WHERE ModuleID like '1409'

Unfortunately, the Report module won't allow me to include a clipart graphic and link.

I'm not a developer, so I'm puzzled over how to open the connection to the database.  An example is all I need, and the Forum search just doesn't work for me. I've struggled for the requisite time before asking for a slam dunk from someone that understands this stuff :)
 

What are you exactly achieving? Please describe your use case.

I had read that reference before the origial post, and the pooling chased me off, since I have no access to the host beyond DNN.

All I want to do is have a Iframe that produces a little headline "Video of the Week" with a field indicating the date the video was updated.  I'm doing it now by just a Report module immediately below a Text/HTML module with no containers.
